[QUOTE="JSCATTLE, post: 888908, member: 16648"] Our grass greens up in march peak growing is April through June . The grass starts to decline in value in July . I try to calve and have my caves about 3 or 4 months old during peak grass . The cows seem to have more milk than the caves need when they are under 250 pounds . This year I planted rye grass and clover . Im waiting until feb to put the pairs On it because I didn't want the cows to over produce and have a chance to cause mastitis . I've been putting out 18 percent range meal to stretch my hay . The cows look better and calves seem strOnger than in the past . I'm feeding about half the hay I normally would . Cows don't act hungry when I put out hay . They eat but don't run the tractor down to get the hay . I think by having healthier cows they will produce more milk and offset the cost of feed with pounds of calf . As long as the winter pasture cost about the same as rolling hay I don't see how you could go wrong . I can still make the hay put it the barn and after I have a years worth in reserve . When dec or jan rolls around I can sell the hay if I don't need it to pay for the winter pasture . [/QUOTE]
